Author Bio

Miles Van Pelt (PhD, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) is the Alan Belcher Professor of Old Testament and Biblical Languages at Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, Mississippi, where he also serves as Academic Dean. Miles lives in Madison, Mississippi, with his wife, Laurie, and their four children.

My online university began requiring these video lectures between the first and second trimesters of Biblical Hebrew because other students had used and highly recommended them. At first I was annoyed that I was being required to spend additional money for "books," but I have changed my mind, since I've found them helpful. The speaker talks fast and doesn't show much personality, but he does give little tips and hints that either aren't in the text or aren't emphasized the same way. I am now glad they are required. AND they were CONSIDERABLY less costly through Christianbook.com than through other online bookstores.
